First Look at the New HP Notebooks Discussion

[booboo12]

Very nice write-up. The 5330m looks great but I question the decision to make "Beats Audio" a big deal on - what is supposed to be - a business notebook. The addition of eSATA, ExpressCard, and backlit keyboard are big improvements over my first-generation ProBook 5310m. I wonder how that new keyboard feels.

The dv4 doesn't look like that high quality of a machine, IMO. $599 starting isn't bad, I personally would spend a few extra bucks and get a dm4x.

I wonder what kind of screen HP is using in that 2760p tablet PC. Hopefully not TN ...

Most business notebook speakers though kinda suck. Not ideal if you have to say do a impromtu presentation or something that involves sound/video and you don't have speakers handy. A rare occurrance but still.

Also, I think it'll be nice for "dual-use" people who use their notebook's both in the office and at home, as well as consumers who choose a business notebook for the lengthy warranty and higher quality but want key features like decent sound.

Nice advertised battery life for the 2560p there....

I'm personally waiting to see what HP will do with Llano, as they're the most likely to have a full line up of notebooks using the AMD APU, including one or two models that should pair Llano with a discrete GPU.

Llano A6-3410MX with a discrete HD6750M. Hopefully HP put them in Crossfire.

Indeed, although I wonder if it can truly offer at least 5 hours of battery life.
